It's not surprising, since the pro-life ideology is all about reification of representations of motherhood that have no basis in reality and then selling those images to young girls.
This has always been by second biggest beef (after the obvious) about the "pro-life" movement--they're obsessed with the baby/fetus before birth but don't seem to give a damn about what happens afterwards.
Where do you work, might I ask? It sounds to me like your perspective is the smack upside the head that these eejits need. Maybe these pro-lifers should take your job for a month and then re-evaluate their position.
